Breakfast: At the hotel.

Morning: Learn more about rural Italy during an Exclusive Discovery Series Sorrentine Farm Experience. Head into the countryside to visit a local dairy farm, which has been owned and managed by the same family and handful of master cheesemakers for generations. The dairy’s products, crafted with love and care, with a focus on sustainability and community preservation, are prized by travelers and locals alike.

Enjoy the opportunity to get to know your hosts and learn about life as a farmer in Italy, as well as the traditional techniques that they use to produce their high-quality goods.

Lunch: Have a farm-fresh "tasting" lunch at the estate, where you’ll sample local produce, olive oil, several varieties of cheese, and a glass of wine.

Afternoon: Return to your Sorrento hotel in the mid-afternoon, where your Program Director will offer a glimpse into a controversial aspect of local culture during an Exclusive Discovery Series conversation about Italy & the Camorra. You’ll learn about this crime syndicate and their impact on Campania from a local expert with first-hand experience about the mafia's influence on the region, and about how the organization has changed in modern times. Afterwards, the rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure—ask your Program Director for recommendations.

Or, discover the secrets of Sorrento’s lemons and limoncello during an Optional Tour to a lemon farm and orchard. You’ll meet Osvaldo, the owner of the picturesque farm and orchard, and learn about what goes into his fruit production when he takes you to his “lemon laboratory” to show how lemons are washed, peeled, and prepared for use in Limoncello liqueur, gelato, sorbet, and even pastries. After, dine on a terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento, and enjoy a three-course dinner including specialties like lemon Risotto, seabass with lemon gravy, and the regional specialty Delizia al Limone. And of course, you’ll toast to the day’s adventures with a glass of Limoncello.

Dinner: If you’ve opted to join our optional tour, you’ll enjoy an included dinner at the end of your lemon farm visit. Otherwise, dinner is on your own; ask your Program Director for recommendations.

Evening: You have the freedom to spend the rest of your evening as you wish—ask your Program Director for recommendations.
